“Recapitulation”

“Live the story you want to tell”

-Simply Topaz

Hi! My name is Ria Diane M. Marquez, 19 yrs old future educator. Want to know my story? Let’s all have a quick recap! Follow me!😊

I live in one of the most beautiful town in Oriental Mindoro. It is well known for having the purest, clear and white beach sand and water Welcome to the Amazing Puerto Galera! Throughout my life beach is among my comfortable zone. It is my sanctuary! Just listening to the soothing and relaxing waves. Watching the sun rises and sets. It is mesmerizing and you would fall in love.

Aside from the beach, every people here are all hospitable, happy and caring. It helps me to shapes who and what I am today. Aside from the learnings and knowledge I got from school. People besides me taught me how to be grateful and thankful for what God gave us this life. It is a precious gift that we all need to give importance.

At the age of 5 I started to participate in any church related activities like sagala and throwing fresh petals to mama mary in “Flores de Mayo”. As a child I enjoy doing this things and at the very young age we are open to do what elderly doing to commemorate GOD in any ways to show respect and celebrate each festivities as long as they can. Also I love participating in any events at school like foundation day. I am active and jolly person in my childhood days. I enjoy learning new shapes and numbers. I love reciting the alphabet and mostly my time would exert in studying. I once dream to become a nurse, time to time it changes. Until I graduated in primary school. It is indeed an unforgetable moments and till now I am dreaming to become a child again if only I could go back in the past. But we need to face the reality since change is not something we should fear, rather it is something we should welcome. Since the only constant in life is change.

In high school I become a student who not only prioritizing their study I began to find myself searching for what will I do in the future, what will I become, thinking like I gotta need to be serious. Since it is only one step away before getting in to the college. Started then, I always participate in any events and contest, like journalism, basic first aid and many more. I even got to try out in many sport activities music and dancing. While searching for what I am capable of I found out that I can be a leader too, that I could never imagine that there were some people who believe and trust you that you have something inside that is hidden . And what you just need is to unbox it, try it and believe that you are precious enough and worth of trusting for. I successfully got my 2 term as a president of T.L.E club. Since then I became enlightened, and I found my path little by little my dream, my future, my realization in life came to light. I wanted to be a teacher.

In the present times, I took Bachelor of Technology Livelihood and Education Major in Home Economics, a future educator in the process. In GOD’s name I trust, cause for sure he has a plan for me. As long as I have the will power, determination, and passion I can make it and fulfill my goals. Not only as a teacher but a woman with purpose and voice. As I believe I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own undertsanding. In all your ways submit to him and he will make your paths straight.

Proverbs 3:5-6
